This is not as good this year as it has been. Now has a rose look to it and is too sweet.

I am rating this high based on my perceived potential. Time is needed, but this looks to be a good one.

Wow what a difference a few months has made. It seems as if this was a whole different wine from what I tasted a few months back. This will wonderful, smooth and long lasting.

This is the first bottle I have poured down the sink in a long time. It may have been just past its prime or maybe something else was significantly wrong. This is the last of 12 bottles of this lot which I had enjoyed previously. Could it really fall off that quickly with age alone?

Surprisingly good.

Much improved since my last tasting early in 2011. It has softened considerably but the fruit is still weak. However, it is a very pleasant wine.

Very good for what it is and what it cost. Great for a hot day on the deck.

Decent for the price.

May have tried this a bit early. Still a little sharp and I did not discern the promised fruit. With 5 bottle remaining in cellar I am optimistic it will improve. Try again in 2012.

Absolutely fabulous! Tremendous fruit to start with a smooth finish and just the amount of tannin that I crave.

Even after decanting was still harsh. Seems like there is potential there but needs more time. The fruit seems smothered at the moment.

The wine looks Inky colored.
It tastes like Black currant (cassis).
The body is Medium/Full.

Not nearly as good as previous bottles of the same vintage.

Very nice for the price and worked well in the Coq au Vin we made. Not something I would drink frequently but perfect for cooking up nice sauces.

Looked and smelled great, but very little flavour or depth. And what flavour was there was disappointing.

Very simple, but surprisingly good, especially for the price.

I expected it to be sweet, but I also expected it to have some further complexity to back it up. Not a good wine. Disappointing.

Even at the very low price this is not worth it.

Quite mild and pleasant but nothing special
